oil / lube found in I/C and restrictor tube - bad ?
#1
Hi all,
I removed my I/C and the little tube that holds the restrictor the other day and found a little amount of oil / lube in this area.
Do I have to be concerned or is a little normal ?
The I/C had a little on the piece that slides into the rubber coupling that attaches it to the manifold and the restrictor tube contained a little as well, which looked like oil to me.
What cuases this and is it a big deal ?
Cheers,
Ray

Thanks Pete your a star....I can sleep better now
With all the worries with these STI-7's I rarely drive now without concern even though I have numerous deltadash logs with everything in the clear....such is life I guess......hopefully after the new oil pump and remmap for my climate and 98 RON I will drive me car a little harder. Rarely do I see over 6,500 rpms now even though I have the Jap spec that is good for 8,000 rpms becuase I am so worried...with the current map anything over 6,500 - 7,000 rpms seems like a waste anyway....runs out of steam...
Thanks again,
Ray
